HOW DOES AN ONLINE AUCTION WORK?
keyboard_arrow_down

Individual sellers deliver bottles that they wish to sell at auction to our office in Rome. Once they have been authenticated by our specialists team, professional photos are taken and the bottles are ready to be listed in our next available auction.

RumTrades hosts rum auctions every month for 10 days and registered users across the world can place a bid online at any time during this period.

The highest bidder at the close of the auction is then notified by email and payment is required within 3 days.

Payment is made to the seller within 21 business days as we need to be fair on both parties and ensure the buyer is completely satisfied with his purchase.
